Bikeways

Bike lanes are present on most major streets, and several
bicycle paths serve the community.

Did You Know?
Bike lanes are swept twice a month by the Public
Works Department. High volume bike paths, like
Victoria Avenue, are swept every Friday to prepare
for increased use on weekends. Bike path maintenance
is completed by the Public Works Department on an as
needed basis.

Regardless of whether or not a bikeway stripe, stencil, or sign is present on a given
street, bicycles are permitted on all roads in the state of
California (with the exception of access controlled
freeways). As such, Riverside's entire street network is
effectively the City's bicycle network.

The designation of
certain roads as Class II or III are not intended to imply
that these are the only roadways intended for bicycle use,
or that bicyclists should not be riding on other streets.
Rather, the designation of a network of Class II and Class
III on street bikeways recognizes that certain roadways are
optimal bicycle routes, for reasons such as directness or
access to significant destinations.
